Описание:

Pliny the Elders Natural History is a vast encyclopaedia, surveying natural phenomena from cosmology to biology, medicine to magic. Direct observation, informed speculation and common knowledge are combined to present a key snapshot of ancient thought and the Romans perspective on the world around them.

Book VII of The Natural History provides a detailed examination of the human animal and is crucial to understanding the work as a whole. In Plinys eyes, mankind for whose sake nature was created, represents the basis for which the natural world was founded and structured. As a result, the book provides valuable insight into the extraordinary complex of ideas and beliefs that were current in Plinys era. One of the most interesting transitions of subject in The Natural History is that from man to animals (between Books VII and VIII) and for this reason the section on elephants at the beginning of Book VIII is included here, to show how Pliny moves on to his account of the animal he considers nearest to the human disposition.

This edition provides the full Latin text accompanied by commentary notes that provide linguistic help and explanations, plus vocabulary lists of Latin terms and an index of proper names. The in-depth introduction provides valuable details about the works historical, scientific and literary context, as well as an overview of the works legacy and reception.
